Luo Linyu heard the words and couldnāt help but glance at the people sitting there. A glance showed they were those of the Luo Family, and a slight discontent arose in her heart; these people truly had no shame.
However, with Princess Consort Le present, she did not show it on her face.
"This humble daughter, Luo Linyu, greets Princess Consort Le."
She performed a standard curtsy, as if it were the best etiquette taught by the palace nannies. Princess Consort Le watched with great satisfaction and then glanced at the Eldest Miss Luo sitting by the side. The jealousy on her face was unmistakable. Comparing the two standing together in any aspect made it clear who was superiorāthere was no denying it.
"Eldest Miss Luo, Linyu has come. You were born into a prestigious family, while Linyu was raised far away. Ask yourself honestly, who embodies the aristocratic spirit more? In terms of appearance, anyone with eyes knows you canāt compare. As for bearing, just look at your envious eyes and then look at Linyuādo you really dare claim you possess any? As for attire, you come from a noble family, yet youāre wearing mere Hangzhou silk, while Linyu is dressed in the newly released Cloud Satin gifted by the Emperor this year. Regarding jewelry, Linyu wears cyan-white jade and pearls, while yours are just ordinary gold-plated.
Yang Chuxia was unreservedly stomping on Luo Linfeiās pride.
Not for any other reason, but because this girl had been a bully since childhood, and itās said that Linyu endured a lot of her bullying when she was young.
"Madam Ye, those words are a bit excessive." Princess Consort Le interjected in defense, finding Madam Ye truly ungracious, being so harsh on a young lady. Clearly, she wasnāt from a noble background, as her words demonstrated a competitive nature.
"Hehe, Iām merely telling Eldest Miss Luo that, no matter how little we earn, we have never neglected Linyu. On the contrary, if Linyu were to return to the Luo Family, her life would be just like Eldest Miss Luoās, which isnāt as good as now."
"I donāt know why youāve come again, but as long as Iām living here, I wonāt go back with you. If you have the guts, go find my father instead of coming to me!"
Luo Linyu immediately understood their intention and said, "As for my marriage, my father will decide, and itās not your concern. You keep talking about family rules and aristocratic manners, which surprises me since those older than me havenāt even married yetāhow could you be concerned about those younger? I wonder where these family rules come from."
This āolderā naturally referred to Luo Linfei, who, having come of age, was still waiting for a suitor.
"You wretch, who are you talking about?" Luo Linfei, already provoked by Yang Chuxia, was about to explode. Hearing Luo Linyu speak as if she were unlikely to get married only made her angrier. She stood up from her chair and cursed aloud.
Princess Consort Leās expression immediately darkened, witnessing such foul language in front of her. So this was the aristocratic manner?
"Slap..." Even the calm and gentle Princess Consort Le couldnāt suppress her anger. How could the Luo Family have so many people incapable of speaking properly? Why had she gotten involved in this mess? She truly regretted stepping into this quagmire.
Seeing Princess Consort Le about to lose her temper, Luo Linfei instinctively shrank her neck.
Just then, someone reported that people from Prince Leās Mansion had urgent news for Princess Consort Le.
After a matron from Prince Leās Mansion whispered a few words in Princess Consort Leās ear, Yang Chuxia noticed that Princess Consort Leās face turned ashen, and without a parting word, she left immediately.
Such a gentle and courteous person shouldnāt act this way. Yang Chuxia thought something significant must have happened.
